in reply to perlhack and perlhacktut

Interesting. Any idea why the document says at the bottom:

This document was written by Nathan Torkington

if it was written by Simon Cozens? I suppose that's pretty much the same thing that happened to Beginning Perl when it was revised for the 2nd edition, but Simon's name is still on the cover.

    Frankly, I don't; but if I had to guess, I'd say it's probably one or both of (a) Nathan made changes substantial enough to merit credit as author, or (b) being pumpking at the time the document was added to the core set, he automatically gets his name inserted as author.
